Ahh. So all we need is someone to create some app/daemon to allow disabling "touch" from the screen via the side slider lock.....

disable screen
sleep 4 seconds
dbus command to "press" play
Navi though, not sure how you'd do it.

I use SiB for the frontend of mplayer btw. Much better than mc.

Is there any more progress on this? i tried to download matan's longpress app, but i coudln't find it in the app manager even after adding his repository.
I too want to lock the screen while watching a video in the video player.
I'd be willing to try and make this app, if someone can point me in the direction of the longpress keylock api for python or scripts.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
if [ `hal-get-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_kb_lock --key button.state.value` == true ] ; then
# echo press >> /tmp/kllp
# date >> /tmp/kllp
echo $$ > /tmp/kb_lock_long_pid
sleep 2
if [ -f /tmp/kb_lock_long_pid ] ; then
rm -f /tmp/kb_lock_long_pid
# echo long >> /tmp/kllp
# date >> /tmp/kllp
# run-standalone.sh env >> /tmp/kllp
if true ; then
if dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce --type=method_call /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.get_device_mode | grep -q normal ; then
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omap2_mcspi.1/spi1.0/disable_ts
else
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omap2_mcspi.1/spi1.0/disable_ts
fi
fi
fi
else
if [ -f /tmp/kb_lock_long_pid ] ; then
kill `cat /tmp/kb_lock_long_pid`
rm -f /tmp/kb_lock_long_pid
# echo del >> /tmp/kllp
# date >> /tmp/kllp
fi
fi &
I cant test this because of pr1.2 (dbus-scripts missing) and im leaving for work soon so let me know what happens.
